Apple’s iPhone releases never fail to attract a huge buzz from its large consumer base. These releases are met with great anticipation with people thrilled about the innovative technology and what new features it has. However, the updates can often bring a heap of problems to the device and the iPhone 7 is no different.
Released in September 2016, it is a visually compelling version with its sleek design – a stark difference compared to its square shaped predecessor. But the inevitable has happened and the model has been riddled with annoying glitches.
Below are some of the most common problems on iPhone 7.
Wireless technology is a great feature that allows users to declutter and be free from the irritating rolls of tangled wire. Apple added this wireless feature to the headphone system, and while this all seem to be a welcomed upgrade, the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack has come under heavy criticism.
While there is an adapter that allows you to plug headphones with 3.mm jacks in, the glaring issue is that you will no longer be able to charge and listen to your favorite music at the same time.
Apple’s solution to this problem has also been criticized as a money grab. Users are able to purchase a costly adaptor that allows headphones and a charger to be plugged in. Or you can buy wireless AirPods that cost a small fortune.
Inadequate Battery Life
You would expect that better technology would improve the battery life from its predecessor. Unfortunately, you might be disappointed to know that developments in the processors and screen doesn’t translate to a longer phone life in the iPhone 7.
Users have complained about the poor battery life, comparing it to the older iPhone 6s being superior in terms of holding its charge.
A quick fix is to update the phone to the latest iOS, which has addressed this issue. This should keep your battery charged for longer.
Bad Audio Quality?!
A commonly reported problem with the iPhone 7 is the poor audio quality. Sound that comes out of the speakers appear to be muffled and the volume is too low.
There hasn’t been a hardware fix but Apple has released an ‘official’ solution to what is potentially causing the audio problem.
The speaker is designed with a slight ridge which ends up being blocked with dirt and dust. Also ensure that your sound settings are not on silent and launch any apps that play sound to adjust volume levels.
Jet Black is perhaps the best color for the iPhone as it complements Apple’s sleek design so well. However, its finish is prone to scratches that can be an eye sore to look at. Moreover, the gloss coat is a magnet for grime and grease that makes the phone look a mess.
No Service Issue
Perhaps the most annoying fault of them all is the service reception problem. This weakens the fundamental aspect of a phone when you are not able to receive service signals or use telecommunication functions.
It has been reported that when switching out of Airplane Mode, the device does not pick up cellular service. Apple have advised that this problem only affects a small batch with a certain model number. They have also worked on a fix.
Conclusion
The initial release of the iPhone 7 in 2016 highlighted that Apple still has some work to do to bring out a polished product. Thankfully, most issues have been addressed by Apple. Apple has been proactive in solving them quickly. Lessons have been learned from its sub par release and here’s to hoping that Apple don’t make the same mistakes again.
